For fans of Beckham from the Rocky Mountain region good news: MLS has announced that Beckham will make his first public appearance in Colorado this coming Thursday as he visits Dick's Sporting Goods Park for the 2007 MLS All-Star Game.

Beckham won't be playing in the match but will attend as a spectator watching the Rapids' own Pablo Mastroeni and the rest of the MLS All-Stars as they take on world powerhouse Glasgow Celtic FC. Fans attending the All-Star Game next Thursday could find themselves rubbing shoulders with Beckham himself at the stadium!
